|author=Lydia Monks
|title=Mungo Monkey to the Rescue
|rating=4
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Fans of lift the flap books may have come across Mongo Monkey before as he has a series of adventures that always seem to entail lifting up some things and flapping others. The interaction in the books is very enjoyable, but sometimes it feels like you are just following a monkey and his family around on a normal day. Couldn't creator Lydia Monks combine this touch and feel element with a story that actually goes somewhere? Perhaps Mungo's day out with his Dad will be key.

|summary=Ever since I was a child the environment has been at the forefront of teaching. It is hoped that each generation will finally be the one to tackle the encroaching global warming crisis. The problem is that books about green impacts can be very earnest and not as fun as a Gruffalo or Aliens in Underpants. How can you get a child to think about the shrinking icecaps in the Arctic when they could be discovery where Wally is hiding? Perhaps if you throw in a Christmas surprise or two?

|title=Finding Winnie: The Story of the Real Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=A little boy called Cole wanted a story. He particularly wanted a true story and it had to be about a bear. It was getting late, but Mummy said that she would do her best. Her story began about a hundred years before Cole was born and it was about a man called Harry Colebourn who lived in Winnipeg. He was a vet and was on his way to Europe to look after the horses of the soldiers fighting in the Great War when he met a trapper with a baby bear: his head might have said that there was nothing he could do, but his heart told him to get hold of the bear and he gave the trapper $20. Winnipeg, as he named the bear, went on the train with Captain Coulbourn and his troop, across the ocean and finally arrived in England.
